Shock horror we have no baked beans in the house

 

[tyred]

Running a few errands in my break. I do wonder how some people can manage to spend such a extraordinary length of time to take money from an ATM; completely oblivious to the queue that was building up behind. What was he doing? I would have had time to read Bleak House whilst waiting.

Browse new bike catalogues? 🤔

Nice thought. No new bikes for a while, although a hardly-used one has popped up on my son's team chat for an extremely good price

It's been quiet so far, with no communication from the students sitting the online exam - apparently there's five of them typing away according to my access statistics. None of the five have additional time, so it'll be an earlier finish than planned. Then it's just the little matter of getting the marking done ASAP.

Update: all five have submitted. I'm done and can log off. Marking commences. Well it comences after lunch. And maybe a trip out first ...

Client's team meeting soon, when they turn up.

Scratch that: I had to take over the till until now. Such is life.

Tried Lidl Pesto on my lunch today.

They apparently turned up the pepper machine to 11; I think my ear wax is melting.

Why do I stand in front of a mirror to put eye drops in!!? 🤔

I’m the same..Thinking about it if you don’t stand in front of the mirror there are many orifices you may end squirting your eye drops into

Cool and grey here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well (good) but am very crampy (bad), so if anyone fancies taking on a tap dancing heffalump or two, just drop me a line.

Anyways, I have spent the morning writing. Or rather, some planning for writing. Been making notes for a future chapter, setting the scene, working out some of the dialogue and the action, adding substance to the basic plot just prior to where the whole story suddenly gets turned on its head. Think the season 7 Star Trek TNG episode "Parallels" and you kind of get the idea. Yes, it *is* a motor racing novel, but there is an underlying sci-fi element in it as well...

Will be making strawberry jam this afternoon. I ran out of time yesterday.

Bin day here tomorrow (blue bin & black bag) but as there's not enough in either, not going to bother putting them out.

Anyways, it's time for luncheon.

's easy.

Hold bottle in one hand
use index finger of other hand to pull down gently on lower lid
rest body of bottle (NOT dropper tip) on index finger mentioned above
tip head back
look up at dropper tip
squeeze bottle

Works for me every time

edited for spelling

I'd suggest adding:

1: Check you have the correct bottle.

I'm home again a little earlier than expected. My brother went down with covid while we were away and his wife is now beginning to suffer the symptoms. We were meant to stop for a couple of days in Ely but didn't want to turn up at a new place with one definite covid sufferer and one probable (still not testing positive but my brother took over 24 hours for the test to show it). Shame, I was looking forward to being able to walk to a pub.

Chish and Fips?

Exactly!

It was Haddock and chips with peas and some white sauce.
I had a pint of cider shandy to go with it .
